Once More

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Yes, Rose had done it. She had brought back once again for an encore performance – the nasty and most wickedly acclaimed Strep Throat. Collette sighed. They were in for another round of it.

“Yeah, Mom took me to Walgreens this morning,” Rose told Collette over the phone. “When the nurse looked down my throat she said, ‘Wow! Can you breathe?’ My tonsils were so swollen.”

“But you’ve always had large tonsils.”

“Yeah, but this time, it’s so bad, they’re touching in the middle of my throat!”

It was bad. Unfortunately, Rose would have to miss her very last Christmas concert with the good old choir.

Misty fog all morning, followed by rain in the afternoon.
